Why, we hear you cry? Well, the ‘You & I’ singer actually declared he was going to be a father THREE years ago on April’s Fool Day. Boy who cried wolf anyone?

On April 1, 2012, the 23-year old took to Twitter to claim: “Can't believe I'm going to be a Dad! Wow!!"

The star later admitted that the whole thing was a prank but it seems the joke is on him as LA-based stylist Briana Jungwirth is now allegedly expecting his child!

The Sun broke the news last night (July 14), with a source telling the tabloid: "Louis is really excited about becoming a dad. It was obviously a surprise but they are both really happy.

“Louis and Briana have spent a lot of time together and are really close."

They added: “Louis really cares about Briana and thinks she will be a great mum. Their friendship has got even stronger though this."

Tomlinson is still yet to confirm or deny the rumours, so we’re currently staring at his Twitter feed for updates!

I figured it outI figured it out from black and whiteSeconds and hoursMaybe they had to take some time

I know how it goesI know how it goes from wrong and rightSilence and soundDid they ever hold each other tight like us?

Did they ever fight like us?

You and I, we don't wanna be like themWe can make it 'til the endNothing can come between you and INot even the Gods above

Can separate the two of usNo, nothing can come between you and IOh, you and I

I figured it outSaw the mistakes of up and down

Meet in the middleThere's always room for common groundI see what it's likeI see what it's like for day and night

Never together'Cause they see things in a different light like usThey never tried like us

You and I, we don't wanna be like themWe can make it 'til the end

Nothing can come between you and INot even the Gods aboveCan separate the two of us(Two of us, two of us, two of us, two of us)

'Cause you and IWe don't wanna be like themWe can make it 'til the endNothing can come between you and INot even the Gods aboveCan separate the two of usNo, nothing can come between you and IYou and IOh, you and IOh, you and IWe could make it if we try, you and IOh, you and I
